(E minor) (G major) Catch a star (E minor) as it falls
and (B minor) hold it in your hand (E minor)
(G major) Feel the heat, (E minor) still it burn (B minor) s
Searing embers of your glorious (E minor) sun

(G major)
You walked in (E minor) to my world, won me over,

to the poetry of our (B minor) souls (D major) (B minor) set fire
(E minor) And (C major) oh it was (E minor) beautiful,
(D major) (E minor) (C major) our tender hearts en (G major) twined (D major)
(B minor) And I thought we could con (C major) quer any

And now (G major) I'm (E minor) waiting on the light (B minor)
To ease (G major) the (E minor) fury of this (B minor) one desire

Verse 4
(G major) Stop the world, (E minor) stop the noise
(G major) I've heard enough, (E minor)
my head is (B minor) spinning (E minor) 'round (G major) (B minor)
(E minor) Give me more than words to feed (G major) me
Truth I can (E minor) believe in, (B minor) give me solid ground
(E minor) But (C major) our days are (E minor) measured in (G major)

Can't tame a head and heart,
(B minor) so out of syn (A major) c (B minor)
(E minor) But, (C major) oh, (E minor) I am grateful (G major) this
(C major) will not bring me down (G major) (D major)
(B minor) The tides are always gon (C major) na turn
and come on (G major) back around (D major) (G major)
(C major) Oh, (E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor) oh (E minor)
(D major) (C major) (D major)
